Building E62 – the Sloan School of Management’s new home – strengthens the Sloan School by providing a nexus for academic and social exchange, promoting ease of interaction among all members of the Sloan community. By consolidating Sloan faculty, the building also promotes academic collaboration and enhances research efforts.

The building’s layout connects it to Buildings E52 and E60, improving service access to all MIT facilities on the block and incorporating both older buildings in a unified expression around an elevated outdoor terrace along Memorial Drive. This unification helps to create a stronger and more appealing visual identity for MIT along the eastern edge of campus.

An environmentally sustainable structure that has achieved LEED Gold certification, Building E62 incorporates a high-performance envelope with operable windows in office areas, (partial) green roof, low-wattage lighting, demand ventilation, occupancy sensor controls, water-based terminal heating and cooling units, and easy access to usable outdoor spaces. The underground garage, which has facilities for Zipcars, is also designed to provide a large area of enclosed bicycle parking and support facilities for cyclists. Other bike parking is distributed around the site.
